"He's the man, he helped us win a World Series," said fan Jordan Rothfeld. "He'll always be remembered as an immortal here."

Fan Kevin Johnson says it's no surprise that Utley has become a Philadelphia sports legend.

"He's one of those guys, even in his World Series speech "World f***ing champions," he's one of those guys who's willing to speak his mind, he's always willing to stand up for his players, for his team. You don't get that all the time with the athletes."
